North Korea's Ryugyong Hotel in Pyongyang to open 24 years after building first started

For more than two decades, an unfinished pyramid-shaped tower dubbed the "Hotel of Doom" has marked Pyongyang's skyline. Now, 24 years after it was first started, the hotel which once aimed to be the world's tallest tower will finally open its doors in the North Korean capital.
Ryugyong Hotel, a glass tower spanning 105 storeys and rising 1,080ft high, will partially open in April next year following decades of delays, according to reports.
